Here in Anchorage, Alaska, nestled between majestic mountains and glistening waters, we experience a unique blend of urban amenities and stunning natural landscapes. Our nursing job market is vibrant, reflecting the city’s growth and demand for healthcare professionals. As of the latest reports, the average hourly wage for registered nurses in Anchorage hovers around $39.45, translating to an annual salary of approximately $82,040. This places our local salaries competitive against both state figures—where the average RN earns about $37.94 hourly—and national averages of $38.66. Anchorage’s distinct environment, with its thriving arts scene and outdoor activities, creates a lifestyle that is as appealing as our job market, drawing both local nurses and travel nurses who seek adventure while they work.

The nursing job market in Anchorage is experiencing robust growth. NurseRecruiter estimates that over the next three years, there will be a demand for around 1,500 new nurses to meet our community’s healthcare needs, correlating with the projected population growth rate of 1.1% annually. Currently, we boast around 5,000 nurses in the area, which comprises about 3% of our population. Anchorage serves as a base for many travel nursing jobs, especially during the summer months as tourism peaks, attracting professionals looking for short-term assignments. Additionally, the per diem nursing sector is significant, with a substantial number of opportunities arising in response to both fluctuating demand and seasonal trends.

Anchorage offers an impressive array of healthcare facilities, including major establishments such as Alaska Regional Hospital and Providence Alaska Medical Center, as well as numerous clinics and specialized healthcare providers. Continued investments in our healthcare infrastructure, such as the expansion of behavioral health services and the establishment of telehealth programs, point towards a future ripe with new nursing opportunities in specialized areas.
